Did you use the kit green decals for the butt end or paint it? I have been waiting forever for someone to make decals without the green so I can paint my own.

Nigel Chapman
Like it. Great photography too. All it needs now is the service van!

Phil M
bossy122: thats clever, no I use it on a white painted body and the decals are not that good, so they broke at certain places. I didnt care that much cause I wanted anyway to weather it a lot for the dio, but if you want a clean car, its better to paint...the smaller decals are ok tho. Its like a Fujimi kit, fragile suspension, so so decals, but fit relatively well. If you weather it, its great...

Phil M
ahah thanks Nigel...as I live in a small place, i cant do huge diorama sadly...🙁

Neuling

Hajo Lippke
I like the cockpit! But are you sure with the grey colour for the backside and top of the instrument panel?

Guy Rump
Cockpit and main engine fitted to one side of the fuselage. 🙂

I agree with you Hajo, I have painted the top and back of the instrument panel (where there are no decals) black. I had intended to use a darker grey but the one I did use was quite light. 👍

John
Cool! I was wondering how all the extra parts in mine looked when done, very nice. 👍

If you will accept a bit of advice, when you complete the cabin "shell" that goes into the fuselage halves, be prepared to do a lot of trimming and fitting before closing up. On mine, the sides of the fuselage wanted to push the roof of the cabin down and also hit the edges of the windscreen opening and that left a big gap on top. I finally got it acceptable fit, but even then, I wish I had cut more away because the cabin roof does not quite fit flush.

Qwertzel
Thanks for the advice. I'll take care of it 🙂
I build a lot of Revell kits in the past and the fitting was different with every model. I have got everything between pretty good and horrible. It's always like a mysterious box.

John
I'm sure you will do well with all that Revell experience. 👍 The good news is that other than the cabin shell, the rest fits OK (ish) even the windscreens. But if you want doors closed, also be prepared to do some surgery on them.

Guy Rump
The next project will be this old tool Italeri Horsa glider. My first glider, so here's hoping it will be a good experience. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here!

Nicolas
I'm going to build this one too. Im watching with great interest.

J35J
I'm in!🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start today. First thing to do was decide if a MK.1 or Mk.2 was to be built. I've decided on the Mk.1 so I had to cut out the parts as shown in the photo. 🙂

Welcome along Robert, Nicolas & J35J, nice to have you with me. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Robert P, Neil, Chris & J35J. 👍

Cockpit, fuselage & tailplane now altogether. Tail was difficult to get together, Added 5g of weight to the nose and 15g of weight to the front of the fuselage. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Andrew B. 👍

Guy Rump
Wings now together. I intend painting the wings before attaching to the fuselage. Hurricane added to show the size of the glider. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Alberto M & airjuneau. 👍

Guy Rump
Underside of wing painted with Vallejo Model Air black & insignia white. 🙂

Guy Rump
Did the upperside of the wings with Vallejo Model Air Dark Earth and Dark Green. Invasion stripes to be added next. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Pietro DA. 👍

Neil Patrick
I built this about 20 years ago Guy as a gift for a WW2 Horsa pilot who was a friend of my wife's family. He'd flown Horsas into Normandy and Arnhem. He loved the model and it sat in his living room for the rest of his days. It's a nice kit as I recall.

Guy Rump
Invasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

@ Neil, it is quite a nice kit considering its age. The fact that you gifted a Horsa model to an actual Horsa pilot veteran is something that must have been hugely gratifying. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Sebastien C, Neil P & 2 other mates. 👍

Guy Rump
Fuselage painted Dark Earth, BS Dark Green and black including invasion stripes. Gap is for where the wings are added. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Chris. 👍
